    Bart, if you have any questions, feel free to ask. I'd like you to be as informed as possible, whether or not your purchase the product.

    If you don't plan on buying our rotors, let me know who your deciding on. We are a manufacturer, so we do know a lot of suppliers personally. I'll give you my honest opinion about the quality of brakes out there.

    To everyone else that have purchase rotors from us, thank you for the support.

    Here's an idea for you R-1...put "VehiCROSS" in the menu on your site.
    I always feel like a vendor is interested in my business if they go to the effort of including my specific model in the list of choices I'm offered.

    Ldub, I just updated the menu. Sorry about that. We're still updating the website (ie. layout, items, inventory).

    THE PRICE OF $217.99 IS FOR:
    2 Front + 2 Rear R1 Concepts' E-Line Performance Brake Rotors

    Yups! Extremely affordable rotors, but I don't want to sound too much like a salesman. Just upgrade the pads, for an addition like $15.00 - $20.00, and you'll be set.

    Feel free to ask if you have any more questions. You can also call the office, anyone of my sales reps would be happy to all your questions. Just in case you feel like you like to talk someone regarding your questions... 714-777-2323

    sorry bart...

    Bart, apologies if this is hijacking your thread... but I have a question for R1 (or anybody else that might know).

    Do you have to use the semi-metalic pads with the R1 rotors, or will use of the ceramic Isuzu OEM pads work fine with them? Explain.

    Thanks.

    Beej, that's quite alright, I'm sure I have jacked a thread or two of yours in the past! And besides, we are still on the right subject here. Probably next week I am going to place an order with R1 for a full set of brakes and rotors. I will also be getting my front wheel bearing repacked at the same time. I will keep you all posted on how it goes.

    And yes, the $229 price tag on R1's product is very good indeed, especially since new brakes and rotors from Merlin were an upwards of $900, which is nutty to say the least.

    I just want to make sure my VX is tip top, so I need to do this soon. But Xmas was a little rough on my bank account.

    Woh! I didn't know that Isuzu OEM pads were of ceramic compound. If it is, your pads should be fine. No need to spend the extra money on new pads.
